GLP-1 Drugs Don’t Just Kill Appetite — They Rebuild a 20-Nanometer ‘Power Cable’ Inside Your Cells
Most people think “metabolic treatment” means fewer cravings and a changing number on the scale. This Deep Dive goes microscopic — into the ER–mitochondria contact sites (mito-ERCS) where metabolic dysfunction may begin as a structural failure, not just a hormone problem.
Using the paper “GLP-1 receptor and mitochondria contact sites: an emerging mechanism of metabolic regulation,” Dr. Mike and Don explain how chronic metabolic stress can sever a ~20-nanometer communication bridge between the endoplasmic reticulum (cellular “factory”) and mitochondria (cellular “power plant”). Then they…
